Can we resist the temptation to comment? No

For a brief moment recently we were worried that Waterstone's was going to return to a more store based, less centrally controlled, range-y kind of bookshop like wot it used to be and a real challenge to our style of independent bookshop.

We needn't have bothered. Seems the future lies in 25 fewer stores, full central control, less range and erm, stationary. Phew.
